Hello thank you so much for your help so kinda a long question here (multiple parts).
2. The Third National Bank has reserves of $20,000 and checkable deposits of $100,000. The reserve ratio is 20 percent. Households deposit $5000 in currency into the bank and that currency is added to reserves.
Recall, to calculate checkable deposits you have to add the original checkable deposits to the new deposit. To calculate required reserves for the deposits, you have to multiply the required reserve ratio (decimal from) by checkable deposits. To calculate excess reserves, you will subtract required reserves from actual reserves.
2.1. What level of excess reserves does the bank now have?



2.2. Complete the table below for the Third National Bank. You have to distinguish between a bank's assets and bank's liabilities.
The figures in the table below are for the Third National Bank. All figures are in thousands of dollars. (Table/chart/graph) normally goes here)

2.3. What is the total assets of this bank? Explain the basics of this bank’s balance sheet.

2.4.If the required reserve ratio for the Third National Bank is 10 percent, what is the monetary multiplier?
(helpful stuff)Recall, to calculate you have to use the formula: Monetary Multiplier = 1÷Required Reserve Ratio. The money multiplier is a key measure in banking that helps to predict the money supply that will be available to drive economic growth. As you can see from the formula, if the reserve requirement is 20%, the money multiplier will be 1 divided by 0.2, which is 5. We can then use the money multiplier multiplied by the excess reserves to determine the maximum checkable-deposit creation that will be provided by the new money entering the system.




2.5. If the monetary multiplier is 4, what is the required reserve ratio? Describe how and identify by what amount the Third National Bank can create money in the economy.
(helpful stuff)Recall that, generally, bank creates money in a typical economy by making loans. The Fed sets the reserve requirement (the required reserve ratio) that directly affects the amount of money creation.

Yields on short-term bonds tend to be more volatile than yields on long-term bonds. Suppose that you have estimated that the yield on 20-year bonds changes by 10 basis points for every 21-basis-point move in the yield on 5-year bonds. You hold a $2.1 million portfolio of 5-year maturity bonds with modified duration 4 years and desire to hedge your interest rate exposure with T-bond futures, which currently have modified duration 9 years and sell at F0 = $70. How many futures contracts should you sell? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)
